Windows support #5

Closed supki closed 10 years ago

supki commented 10 years ago

Folks express interest in having directory-layout working on Windows, too

@dmalikov, could you take a look at what subset (?) of functionality we can reliably implement for unix-likes and windows both?

dmalikov commented 10 years ago

Just a minor note: it should be something like "cygwin support" because of huge variety of possible ghc environments in Windows system. Thus the point of the task is to get rid of unix package dependency and substitute all Posix stuff with something cygwin-compatible.

I'm not sure about subset (?) of functionality that will be impossible to implement without Posix stuff. Finding this subset is actually what this task is about :)

Apparently, it's possible to install unix package on Windows using Cygwin tools, and we do not do anything especially Windows-hostile besides depending on unix in directory-layout, so Windows support should be a non-issue. Please reopen if I'm missing anything!
